An Electric Audi R8? Not So Fast

A report in the German press of an all-electric Audi R8 appears to be a little optimistic. Auto Motor und Sport claimed that the alt-power R8 would appear alongside the R8 convertible at the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show.

When we contacted Audi to confirm the story, a spokesman gave us a much different and very precise answer: "Nope, not true."

So at this point, it depends on who you believe, but we won't be expecting anything more than the convertible in Frankfurt at this point.
